This post was a little chaotic, but my life has been too. I applied these changes and have been at school for less than a month. I felt more peace in the first week than in my Ohio decision the whole 1 1//2 years I was there. My mentality has changed, and I am proud of my changes. I am more mature than when I started in Ohio and more discerning.
I just realized that it’s Friday the 13th — what a fitting day for this post! 😀 [1]
While growing up, I learned some things that seem sort of out of vogue today. One such cornerstone of my learning experience was an opposition to anything that reeks of dictatorship or similar mob actions. Freedom was very much about intellectual freedom. I have written about this time and again (if you want to read more about this, check out some of the links on the homepage 😉 ).
In contrast, life today appears to me as if it were all about being in alignment with Big Brother. [2] Whether turning on the tube to watch, listen and follow the newspeak or turning to the Pope of the Internet [3] for guidance, or whatever, … it seems like everywhere modern men and women are in chains … chained to some sort of propaganda system or other that dictates their lives, right down to their thoughts. [4] The propaganda engines have been finely tuned and employ some of the most sophisticated technology available to mobsters everywhere all over the world (as we know it). [5]
The regular individual is a nobody.
In order to be a somebody, you need many millions of followers. VC money. Rapper jewels. A White House. Something with street cred.
Opinions don’t do shit. There ain’t no algorithms for ideas. Like Vinnie Barbarino used to say: “gimme clicks, gimme clicks, gimmie clicks, …”.

[1] I actually started writing this on Thursday. and at the time thought about (but decided against) including footnotes. Today I changed my mind — if you want to read the “original” text only, then just disregard these footnotes! 😉
I want to provide my unique skills in organization, coordination, and interpersonal communication to connect individuals with each other and the organization.
I have had my fair share of goodbyes. When it comes to goodbyes, neither am I very fond of it, nor am I very good with it. I just don’t know how to sum up every memory I have and encase it in a wave. I still remember crying while my mom and dad left me in the hostel for the first time. Amusingly, I also remember crying when my cab snatched me away from the same place 4 years later. Some moments were short lived, while some lasted a little bit longer to be called as ‘moments’. But nothing beats that one day, that one goodbye!
For this project I intend to capture photographs of the different ways people have left their mark in the world for the next generation of people to find. I will mainly be focusing on graffiti, however inscriptions on things such as trees, desks and rocks will also be included.
not only helps us to vanquish those fears, but it also allows us to expand our minds and learn both about said new thing, and about ourselves. And then there’s the rush. There’s nothing quite like or as memorable as the thrill of a new experience.
I guess I’m someone who will never just be content where I’m at in life. Of course I’m grateful to have a healthy and happy family, but is it wrong to want more? It’s human nature.
Providing feedback on my peer’s work was useful in that I found myself assessing work from the markers point of view, a valuable skill moving forward with my next assessment. I thought the feedback I provided this time around was better than last time, offering more actionable suggestions that would actually be beneficial rather than just praising the work with no constructive feedback.
At the end of the day, it’s not about getting it perfect; it’s about being brave enough to show up as myself, with all my messy edges. I’m hoping to connect with anyone who’s ever felt a little out of place, a bit too loud, or just a tad too real for their own good. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that the most interesting people are usually the ones who don’t fit neatly into boxes.
Even today, I am not able describe that feeling. It was just so peaceful. The thought of bringing a new life into this world was making me nervous as well. I just started preparing my mind to accept it whole heartedly and be at peace all the time. I believed a mothers’ mood impacts the baby (foetus) health. I told myself, ‘If I want a healthy, happy baby, I will have to be like that. No more shedding tears, unless absolute need 🙂 . No more argument, just healthy discussions. You become the one that you want your baby to be when he\she will be in this world.’ Although I found it to be a bit difficult to stick to my pregnancy resolution later, due to change in body conditions. The hormones were at play and sometimes I was just becoming a puppet to them, unable to control anger. Will discuss about it later in depth.
